When science opens an hitherto unseen door
to thresholds it cannot yet cross, we have the
beginnings of spirituality; When spirituality
manifests in new number, ratio, and universal
theory, we have science at its best, as a journey
of discovery. Science and spirituality, just like the
relationship between known and unknown, or tradition
and creativity, are always two sides of one movement.
The line we draw between them is like the line of a
distant horizon, forever receding as we come near.
Metaphor is then the scientist’s rhyming of meaning,
in both word and number, the sense of wonder that
becomes the songline that guides us deeper and
deeper into this uncharted, essentially pathless,
land.
